Introduction

The problem

  • Lot of decentralized groups : the community is scattered and very diverse from core developers to artist and gamers
  • No single entrypoint : There are plenty of tools, social networks and user registries
  • No effective information broadcast to all members : lot of scams, spams, bots or trollers
  • No global company/member directory : each application reimplements its own user registry bringing either duplication or separated worlds

Tezos pseudonym social graph

We are not going to tackle the problem of the unique identity like BrightID, instead we concentrate our effort on the pseudonymity already provided by Tezos addresses combined with grouping feature and restricted social media linking

  • Identity :
    1. strictly pseudonymous Tezos addresses
    2. (optional) restricted display name, alias and picture from different social networks available for people from same organization
  • Organizations : a way to regroup people inside a cluster
  • Internal alerting system : a non gas-free way to send important message to other clusters and get alerted on real time

Final goal

This application :

  • should not be seen as a final product but as a base layer for other application to integrate with. Example : providing a list of player for a mobile game where it is hard to type and remember a tz1 address
  • does not require high presence. It has to be seen as a configuration tool like a contact list, a LDAP or other user registries running in background
